The Catherine Palace (Екатерининский дворец) was the summer residence of the Russian empresses Екатерина I, Елизавета Петровна и Екатерина II in Tsarskoye Selo, which is now called Pushkin.
The Catherine Palace is the center of the complex of the palace and the park on this historic site. The splendor of the Catherine Palace museum displays the work of architects from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The palace is best known for Rastrelli's grand suit of formal rooms known as the Golden Enfilade. The Great Hall, also known as the Hall of Light, covers 860 square meters and occupies the full width of the palace so that there are superb views on either side. The entire ceiling is covered by a monumental fresco entitled The Triumph of Russia.
During World War II, the territory of Tsarskoye Selo was occupied and the palace was almost completely destroyed, of the 58 halls destroyed during the war years, 32 have been recreated.
The jewel of the palace is the Amber Room (Янтарная комната), rightly called a wonder of the world.
The palace and park ensemble of Tsarskoye Selo is recognized as one of the best monuments in the world to the art of landscape gardening in the XVIII – XX centuries.
In the summer of 1831, the famous Russian poet and writer Alexander Pushkin rented a cottage in Tsarskoye Selo, where he wrote the letter to Tatiana from Onegin, completing the novel in poems "Eugene Onegin." In 1937 Tsarskoye Selo was renamed to the town of Pushkin, thus commemorating the centenary of the poet's death.
